House Flipper 2 News — May 17, 2026
Aggregated from Steam, cross-tracked with Battle.net coverage on GamePatchNote.
Hello hello, Flippers!
This next week is going to be something extraordinary! Our most visually stunning DLC (according to the social media guy writing this 😄) is releasing next week!
https://store.steampowered.com/app/4351410/House_Flipper_2__Sakura_DLC/
Let's talk about what's coming, which breaks down into 3 main parts:
🏯 What's inside House Flipper 2 - Sakura DLC?
We initially promised 300 items, but our 3D artists outdid themselves - we're delivering over 600!
That's right: 600+ Japan-themed items, including furniture, plants, decorations, traditional paper walls, windows, and more!
On top of that:
- 5 jobs ranging from cozy tearoom to abandoned primary school
- 5 characteristic Japanese houses to renovate
- 5 new buyers interested in traditional Japanese architecture
- 3 variants of a Japanese countryside environment with a springtime Mt. Fuji view
- New collectibles to find
- 3 intricate wooden assemblies
- A set of new, surprising achievements
All the specifics will be in the patch notes on the day of the release!
🏠 What's coming to House Flipper 2 as a free update??
The highlight here has to be the brand new Buyer System 2.0!
We mentioned that in our recent roadmap, and we can confirm that this feature includes:
- Feedback during auctions: likes, dislikes, and comments on your work!
- A bunch of new buyers, and a refreshed version of the old ones!
- Detailed buyer profiles.
- Buyer moodboards.
+ Unlocking specific buyers is now easier too!
Beyond that, we have the long-awaited empty plots for Story Mode, as well as more than 100 new items available in the shop!
Those are the highlights, but there's more - like the roof building improvements we promised! You will find all the spicy details in the upcoming patch notes.
You may have also seen our recent X post showcasing some motion sickness improvements for House Flipper 2, and yes, those are included too!
📖 New Community Contest Rules!
Whether you're a competitive flipper who brings fresh ideas to community contests, or someone who enjoys following along and admiring the results — this one's for you!
First of all, we'd like to organize something new, something huge - an event that will award the best of the best, and lead to a new level of challenge!
We're talking about a championship-style Community Contest, likely held once a year, where winners from previous contests will go head-to-head.
Second, because of this - and because competition is getting fiercer and prizes are getting bigger - we're thinking about making sure any contest submissions are the work of a single person.
Don't get us wrong - we love seeing flippers team up and bring their A-game, but at the same time, teams going up against solo players is an issue we have to address.
That said, we may occasionally host team-friendly contests if that's something you'd like to see - so let us know!
If you have any suggestions about this, let us know! We'd really appreciate your feedback!
Oh!.. And we will be starting a brand new Japan-themed Community Contest on the Sakura DLC launch day!
Aaaand that's pretty much it!
Additionally, we will be going LIVE to celebrate Sakura DLC, showing you some spicy gameplay a day before the launch!
That's May 20th - 6 PM CET / 10 AM PT / 13 PM ET!
Have a lovely Sunday y'all! ❤️
